Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Have a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor malignancy that is refractory to conventional therapy or for which no therapy exists. Patients must have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria.
  • Be greater than or equal to 18 years old.
  • Must not be eligible for therapy of higher curative potential. (NB: Where an alternative therapy has been shown to prolong survival in an analogous population, that therapy will be offered to the patient prior to discussing this study.)
  • Have a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of greater than or equal to 70.
  • Have an estimated life expectancy of greater than or equal to 12 weeks.
  • Be male or a non-pregnant, non-lactating female. Patients who are fertile must agree to use an effective barrier method of birth control (ie, latex condom, diaphragm, cervical cap, etc.) to avoid pregnancy.

  • Have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 10 days of study treatment (if patient is a female of childbearing potential).
  • Sign a written informed consent form.
  • Have adequate organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values, obtained within 2 weeks prior to registration: A. ANC: greater than or equal to 1.5 × 10 ^9th/L; B. Platelets: greater than or equal to 100 × 10 ^9th/L; C.Serum bilirubin: less than 2.0 mg/dL; D. AST and ALT: less than 3 x ULN* without liver involvement OR less than 5 x ULN with liver involvement; E. Serum creatinine: less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dL. NOTE: ULN = Institutional Upper Limit of Normal.

Who cannot join

  • Have received previous treatment with clofarabine.
  • Have an active, uncontrolled systemic infection considered opportunistic, life threatening, or clinically significant at the time of treatment.
  • Are pregnant or lactating.
  • Have a psychiatric disorder(s) that would interfere with consent, study participation, or follow-up.
  • Have received any chemotherapy, major surgery, or irradiation, whether conventional or investigational, 28 days before treatment in this study (42 days for mitomycin-C or nitrosourea).
  • Have not recovered from acute toxicities of all previous therapy prior to enrollment.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Have any other severe concurrent disease, which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study (eg, uncontrolled severe insulin-dependent diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, transient ischemic attacks, uncontrolled symptomatic coronary artery disease, etc). Patients with abnormal cardiac function who are in consideration for study participation should be discussed with the Medical Monitor prior to enrollment.
  • Have received prior radiation therapy to greater than or equal to 25% of the bone marrow (eg, no whole pelvic irradiation is allowed) and have not recovered from the acute side effects of radiotherapy.
  • Have symptomatic or untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose Escalation and Pharmacokinetic Study of Oral Clofarabine Administered Daily for 5 Days in Adult Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors

Clofarabine (injection) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have had at least 2 prior treatment regimens.

This is a research study of clofarabine that will be given to patients (orally) with advanced cancerous tumors or cancerous tumors that have spread in which standard drugs are no longer effective or no reliable effective treatment is available.

The purpose of this study is to find the answers to the following research questions:

  1. What is the largest dose of oral clofarabine that can be safely given daily for 5 days followed by 23 days of rest and repeated every 28 days?
  2. What are the side effects of clofarabine when given on this schedule?
  3. How much oral clofarabine is in the blood at specific times after administration and how does the body get rid of the drug?
  4. Will oral clofarabine help treat solid tumor cancer?

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • clofarabine (oral formulation)Drug

    Cohorts of 3 patients each were to receive oral clofarabine administered daily for 5 days followed by 23 days of rest (1 cycle) and repeated every 28 days depending on toxicity and response. The starting dose of clofarabine was to be 1 mg/m2/day with subsequent dose escalation to occur in increments of 50% for the first 5 dose levels (1.5, 2.25, 3.5, and 5.0 mg/m2/day) and in increments of 25% thereafter until the MTD/RP2D was determined.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of oral clofarabine when administered once daily for 5 days every 28 days to adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing clofarabine (oral formulation) in people with Solid Tumors, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of oral clofarabine when administered once daily for 5 days every 28 days to adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors (time frame: Length of Study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Mar 2014.
